Jewelry, Art and Antiques, Oh My!

This weekend, the Palm Beach Jewelry, Art and Antique Show is taking over the Palm Beach County Convention Center. With more than 180 international galleries exhibiting as well as the HOPE Designer Showcase—featuring vignettes from leading interior designers—on display, there is a lot to take in over the span of a long weekend. Here are our top picks for displays you simply cannot miss.

Jewelry
